"Since Peasukee controlled the land, air and water, he caused a great upheaval of the land so that he could live with Winnie. The upheaval caused the McDude River to change course and not connect with the lake. Therefore Winnie could not return to the Atlantic by the way she came. The lake water to flow north of Peasukee’s mountain and Winnie did not know where the water went."

It's too bad that Pesaukee did that to the river because the Lobsters would have been able to swim to Waldo Peppers all by themselves

.....and you know that the railroad isn't there anymore either. What about those land-locked lobstahs that arrived from the ocean with Winnie?

BTW FLboater...next time you see Winnie and Pesaukee would you ask them how they got to Florida with the mcdude river being closed and all?

I'm sure Pepper will have plenty of lobsters. Regretfully, I won't be able to join you all that day but don't let that stop you from having a good time!

I'll stop in and see you, Pepper, when all of these other throngs of people aren't around and I can get my hug (s) (s)...

with no interruptions!

Have a great time! McD

From Chapter 5 of In Ancient Times
"At the end of summer, many returned to the south via the Merri River which was formed by the “Great upheaval”. Others stayed long enough to watch the trees change their colored coats. After getting their direction from the many birds that circled Winnie’s island, these neighbors would then go south by land and water. They became known as “snow birds”. They went to a sandy land called Florida and played on the water all winter. Some years the cousin of Peasaukee would cause great southern storms which cause the dwellers of Florida to run or hide until the storms passed. Other “snow birds” were forced to stay longer by the Great Spirits Smile until the great southern storms ended."

McDude, Guess you missed this chapter 5.

Today Winnie and Peasaukee were with me when we were visited by their friend Manny the Manatee. I did ask Manny if he was interested in going north with us and helping to eat the Milfoil. He answered that he didn't think the cold water would be good for him.

Sounds like it's going to be a great time - I'm really bummed I can't be there!

Please do take and post pics!

I'll be up in the area Friday but it will be a working/visit trip, my Dad (You might know him Pepper since he used to stop in just about every day during the season for lunch, "George") He's in a nursing home these days in Meredith, so I'll be visiting with him and my mom, then I have to start getting the condo ready for renters, so I don't think I'm even going to have time to drive past and toot!

I work weekends sooo............

Pepper · 03-22-2006, 11:22 PM

Airwaves - I've sent you a private message with a special note for you and your dad! We love your father and hope to see him very soon.

McDude - I'm crushed to learn that you will not be joining in the mini forum-fest, but am looking forward to having an uninterupted hug or two from you sometime soon!

rrr, BroadHopper and FLBoater - I'm sorry you three won't be able to join us in all the fun, but am certainly looking forward to seeing each of you over the summer as well.

trfour · 03-23-2006, 10:13 PM

Wishing all a very Happy Waldo Pepper's Forum Fest!!

Regretfully, I can not attend.
Went in for a physical while here in Dallas- Fort Worth, and they found high calcium in my blood. The doctor told me that he had made me an appointment in the Nuclear medicine clinic for a bone density scan. So I told him, while he was at it, to put me in for a ride in the centrafuge so that I could get my astronauts license when I got out.

Anyway, I can't get a release and have to stick around here incase they have to do more testing, and by the way, this is the first time that I have been on the working end of the wrench, If you get my drift

I am looking foward to seeing you all very soon.

Have a blast and get those photosPosted!!!!

Love,
T.

Airwaves · 03-23-2006, 11:13 PM

Hey T
I've always wanted a ride in one of those centrafuge things!

Okay, I'm lying, I'd barf big time!

Be well!

Pepper · 03-23-2006, 11:29 PM

T - I'm so sad to learn that you cannot join us, but even sadder to learn that you're going through all that! Please keep me up to date, and let me know if there's anything I can do to be of help up here for you.

Be well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Airwaves - check your PM's again.

OK, now you've got me really envious! Would you be sure to do some eating for me while you're in Tuscany, please?

MMmmmmmm!

I'll have plenty of lobster rolls for both of you when you get here in April, and wish you fun and safe travels meantime!

trfour · 03-24-2006, 10:08 AM

Thank you Pepper,

I will be flying up soon, and will keep you up to date prior to.

Thanks Airwaves, take care.

Love,
T.

Mashugana · 03-24-2006, 10:36 AM

I would love to meet you all but I can not make the long drive. Even though I rarely post I feel like I know many of you.

Will there be a temporary web cam so that those of us at home can check out the activities at Waldo Peppers tomorrow?

Have fun and enjoy a lobster roll and a hug for me. A frequent lurker.

Winterharborway · 03-24-2006, 02:59 PM

hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while and haven't been to the Lake since Thanksgiving! I'm the one that brought my two parents to the forum gathering over the summer for those that may remember!

I was looking forward to seeing you all but won't be able to make it this weekend!

Have a great time and see you soon! Jennifer

I hope you all have a great time eating lobster rolls

Can I please have one to go? I will gladly pay you Tuesday.

Give it to GH and I can have it for Sunday dinner.

Merrymeeting · 03-25-2006, 08:30 AM

This is becoming a habit that I certainly want to break. I won't be able to make this one either. Pepper, I'd like a rain check for my first-visit hug later in the year.

My oldest is in her final high school play this weekend. 3 performances just not allowing time to make it to the lake and back in time.

I have no desire to be mentioned in future therapy sessions with my absence at her final performance being the reason for a lifetime of failure and misery

So, I'll be staying close to home this weekend.

Have fun!

Silver Duck · 03-25-2006, 09:14 AM

I hadn't wanted to say anything until now, since my back has been giving me grief for the last couple of weeks.

But things are a bit better today, so Betty and I are getting ready to head up in a few minutes.

See you all there!

Silver Duck

Quilt Lady · 03-25-2006, 10:01 AM

If you aren't on the road, you had better get your act together. The magic hour is fast approaching. Some of us planned this adventure well in advance: we had a sleep-over (with boys) so we would be ready to roll. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a little while!
PARTY ON!!!!

I'm surfing around looking for the Waldo Pepper's Mini Forum Fest Cam ...but I don't seem to be having any luck...

Island Girl · 03-25-2006, 06:47 PM

This is a double Lobster Roll (with a Pepper Stick) from PepperFest the mini Forum Fest held today at Waldo Peppers.. we had a great time.

Sunset Bob really enjoyed his double lobster roll today.

Silver Duck · 03-25-2006, 07:58 PM

The mini fourm fest was a great time, and I enjoyed meeting some of our "forum family". I'm really glad that Betty & I could make it!

And, a big thank you to Pepper for hosting us (and for the hugs, which were great, too!)

That wasn't fair IG. I have to wait until my summer vacation before I get up that way to enjoy one but that picture has me drooling all over my keyboard.
